The Meat Hook, Obsessed with their Sausages

March 10th, 2010

I love entertaining food videos.  Mr. Okra (I got collard greens!) may be my all time favorite, but these guys make sausage making pretty entertaining.  They are obsessed with making sausage and I am equally obsessed with eating sausage, so it’s a win-win.  There’s something fascinatingly gross about watching someone working with the casing for...

Ah, the delicious flank steak. This cut of steak comes from one of the toughest muscles on the cow, but it has some of the best flavor on the animal. Flank steaks are also great candidates for a long bath in a delicious marinade. Marinade them in some lime, garlic, cilantro and...

Hot Dog lobbyist? I didn’t know there was such a thing and now I think that’s the best use of a Law degree that I have ever heard. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council is a Washington-based firm that lobbies on behalf of the wiener industry. You may not have thought...

This video pretty much made my day.  I love this kind of documentary.  Mr. Okra pretty much sums up the foundation for good food: “Ain’t no use in cookin’ if you ain’t gonna cook with fresh food…cause you can taste the difference, if you know anything about food.” “You gotta put somethin in it so you can...
